Also, have we asked the question, what default editor are other
distros setting?
I've honestly never looked.
I believe no major distro currently sets $EDITOR, so we would be the
first.
Debian/Ubuntu/Mint use https://salsa.debian.org/debian/sensible-utils
for this. I checked Ubuntu yesterday and they build git with
DEFAULT_EDITOR=editor, which chooses nano. (They also use
DEFAULT_PAGER=pager, which I guess is how you would allow configuring
'most'.)
An earlier version of the change proposal involved packaging up these
Debain tools, but I suggested that setting $EDITOR would be a whole lot
easier.
On the other hand, if we were to package sensible-utils, it's likely
other independent distros would follow, and we would turn it into a
cross-distro standard. So it's worth considering.
